Tennis Picks April 26th

I have been working on finishing my pre-Draft NFL post and a mock draft for the First Round and so I have not had time to post this earlier.

The NFL post will likely be ready in the next 9-12 hours, so plenty of time before the Draft actually begins.

Anyway, on to the tennis picks from Thursday 26th April after the ones I made yesterday finished 1-1, with Victor Troicki's match postponed until today due to inclement weather in Bucharest.


Feliciano Lopez - 2.5 games v Jarkko Nieminen: This is a risky pick in some ways as Feliciano Lopez is just 1-6 against Jarkko Nieminen in the past and the Spaniard has to be one of the weaker players on a clay court from his country on the Professional tour.

However, I like his chances as his only win against Nieminen actually came at this event three years ago with Lopez winning for the loss of just 3 games- that match was also the last time the two players met.

Nieminen is a really tough competitor that will make life tough for Lopez, but the latter seems to enjoy playing here as he reached the Quarter Final last year, while he also has had a couple of solid years on the slower surfaces.

This one looks like a tough match for Lopez, but I think he will be a little too good for Nieminen.
